An absolute Treat - Edit
As a performer who is consistently traveling, I found myself here every time I found myself in Victoria this summer. I never thought I would find a soul food vegan restaurant in canada with a head chef coming from my home state South Carolina. Must be why it felt like home every time I walked in. I celebrated my 3 years of Veganism here and with the wide and delicious variety of food and treats, all 13 of my visits contained different meals.

What a great find! - Edit
We were hungry, and tired of boring pizza. We found this gem of a joint and filled up like there was no tomorrow. Great food, nice friendly staff. Must try for yourself.

Everything is good! - Edit
I was a bit worried that nothing would taste fresh (since it’s buffet style) but I was pleasantly wrong. Everything was very fresh and delicious! I’m already thinking of going back to try more of their choices and baked goods.

Feels like home - Edit
Green Cuisine is like a staple long-time establishment in Victoria, BC, for everyone. It is a trustworthy & go-to venue to have delicious home-made style food that we don't usually find anywhere else. They have a large seating area & even also a little play area for kids with books & toys, so definitely bring your kiddos along to enjoy healthy vegan food.
Read moreTheir buffet spread always have a great selection of whole grains, beans, tofu & tempeh. Of course, they also have a salad bar for all your fresh veggies needs. What is exciting is that they have a dessert spread on their buffet, such as pies & cheesecake (vegan, of course!). All these items are charged by weight.
They always have 2 soups of the day for you to choose from. These soups are charged by bowls (not by weight), so it would be smart for you to fill up your bowl should you choose to get it!
Even if I don't eat at Green Cuisine, I tend to drop by their restaurant just to buy their own tempeh. You can also find their Green Cuisine tempeh brand at some of the grocery stores in town but buying direct from their restaurant would give you the best prices!
Pros: great selection on buffet with ingredient list, kids-friendly, they have a large community bulletin board
Cons: mostly affordable but can be unexpectedly pricey, buffet-style so some dishes may not be hot, so many selections, i want to try everything!

great choices - Edit
We enjoyed eating here. It is a buffet style and they weigh your plate after you fill it up. It may have made more sense to weigh us going in and then again as we were leaving!
Read moreReally good choices. We had greens and “neeps” (turnips) and broccoli and some tempeh in sauce and soup and cornbread.
The real outstanding part was the dessert which was a chocolate and pumpkin cheesecake. Wow!
Pros: All vegan, great choices
Cons: buffet style so it’s never really hot.

Long History - Edit
My dad's been vegan most of my life and I remember him taking me here as a kid.
Read moreNow that I'm an adult vegan myself, I always enjoy going to Green Cuisine. As mentioned, they're by-weight buffet style, with ingredient lists next to everything - they always have focaccia and corn breads, plus salad ingredients, hummus, and one or two daily soups. The soups change day to day, and both the beads and the soups are fixed price items.
The rest of their savoury buffet changes day to day; my personal favourites are the tempeh (all), lentil patties (I don't even like lentils, wth), and scalloped potatoes.
On top of that, they always have by-weight and by-item desserts.
Always worth the price, in my opinion.

Great Selection - Edit
The best part about Green Cuisine is the great selection of food in the buffet. The food is decent. There is a bit of everything to please lots of different tastes. The desserts are outstanding though. A lot of times we come to green cuisine just for their desserts.
Read moreIt's a pay by weight style buffet so be careful as it can get to be unexpectedly expensive. It has a hippy cafeteria vibe but it's the place to go for a quick casual vegan meal in Victoria. Lentil soup with focaccia bread is an excellent deal! Filling but cheap.
Pros: Great Buffet Selection, Outstanding Dessert, Great Lentil Soup & Focaccia Deal
Cons: Unexpectedly Expensive, Cafeteria Atmosphere

Fairly pricey but a great spot - Edit
It's a pay by weight buffet, and generally for what you get I find it fairly pricey. However, there are some fantastic options here (I love their falafels, samosas, and shepherd's pie) and their vegan ice creams are absolutely out of this world! Their wheat-free chocolate cake is delicious too. Great place for casual dining :)
Read morePros: Casual place, great for meeting up with friends, Ice cream!! , They host local animal rights meetups often
Cons: Can get loud with kids running around

Great Vegan Buffet - Edit
I came here twice for lunch while in Victoria and really liked it. I love being able to customize the size and balance of a meal, and also loved the variety of their options. The quality was good in my opinion - there's nothing pretentious about the place (food or decor-wise); it's a super good casual but a definitely good casual choice.
Read morePros: Lots of variety, Priced by weight, Relaxed atmosphere
Cons: Not a place for more up-scale dates

buffet - Edit
While it is so great to have an all Vegan Buffet, I found it very bland. I tried the veggie lasagna, spring rolls, cornbread, tofu and rice.
Read moreI think next time I'll just take it as a salad bar. Lots of fresh veggies. Maybe I just chose the wrong things.
Pros: all Vegan, super friendly , well priced
Cons: no spice

Good vegan buffet - Edit
Lots of choices which you often don't get and lots of styles of food so you can make some good combos. Food was pretty fresh for a buffet (I usually find the idea a bit gross).

Good selection - Edit
The best part about this place is the variety. There are so many options to choose from and it's based on weight of the plate. All food is vegan. But unfortunately, the food is just ok. Not bad, but we each sampled several dishes and nothing stood out.

Loved this place! - Edit
We had lunch here the first day after we got in and dinner the next day. Food was excellent both times with lots of options. Definitely get the cornbread, the tempeh, and the berry cheesecake! Prices were reasonable, but you'll probably be looking at $20+ if you're hungry and pile on your plate. The central location is hard to beat too!

Great Homestyle food and desserts - Edit
I ate here twice on a recent trip to Victoria. It is buffet style and pay by weight. A good selection of different main dishes such as tofu, tempeh, curry, mac'n'cheeze etc. All was good. The desserts are excellent. They seem to have 4 different desserts such as cheezecake, fruit crumble as pay by weight and also have other cakes and cookies to buy priced per item. So much to choose from. The atmosphere is very relaxed and you need to clear your table when you are done. I appreciated that they had real plates and cutlery as sometimes this type of restaurant will use paper and plastic. It seemed very eco friendly.
Read morePros: Homestyle, Great desserts, Friendly atmosphere
Cons: Only open until 8 pm
